Multimedia Engineering
We aim to pursue theory and practice in the research field of managing diverse multimedia data (data engineering, security, big data, computer vision, neuroscience, computational social science, high-performance computing, and avatar-robot information distribution infrastructure).
Laboratories
Multimedia Data Engineering
[Hara Lab.]
We are building sophisticated multimedia information systems by fusing essential techniques such as databases, networking, sensing, and artificial intelligence. Most research themes in our lab are being done in collaboration with some industries, and we actively present our works at domestic and international conferences.
Cryptography Engineering
[Isobe Lab.]
We are engaged in the research and development of next-generation security infrastructure, with a focus on cryptographic technologies. Our goal is to develop innovative cryptographic solutions that address the emerging challenges of the Beyond 5G era and the advent of quantum computing, aiming to fundamentally resolve real-world security issues from both theoretical and practical perspectives. In addition to academic achievements, we actively collaborate with industry, standardization organizations, and open-source communities to promote the social implementation of our research outcomes.
Big Data Engineering
[Onizuka Lab.]
We aim to pursue theory and practice in the research field of Bigdata engineering (Cloud databases, graph neural networks, large language models, computer simulation).
Real-world Intelligence
[Maekawa Lab]
With the goal of “creating artificial intelligence that understands the real world,” we conduct research on AI technologies that infer human and animal behaviors, states, and contexts from multimodal sensor data.
Cognitive Neuroinformatics
[Nakano Lab.]
In this course, we utilize neuroscience, biometric analysis, and behavioral experiments to estimate the state of the human mind and to explore the neural mechanisms behind cognitive functions. We particularly focus on advanced human cognitive abilities such as sociability and self-awareness.
Cooperative Laboratories
Synthetic Data Engineering
[T. Murata Lab.]
[D3 Center]
Our laboratory develops technologies for Real-Scale Social Simulations (RSSS) to simulate the real world including human factors. RSSSs are conducted as digital twins in the cyber space to simulate individual decision making processes such as transportation, transactions and so on.
Cooperative Laboratories
Advanced High-Performance Computing Infrastructure Systems
[Date Lab.]
[D3 Center]
This cooperative laboratory conducts the research and development on innovative supercomputing systems, advanced high-performance computing infrastructure systems where supercomputing plays a central role, and their applications, based on the rich experience and expertise cultivated through the installation and operation of actual supercomputing systems and data infrastructure at the University of Osaka, Japan.
Affiliated Laboratories
Multimedia Agent Systems
[ATR]
Agents that interact with humans using various modalities such as vision, audition, and touch to support individuals both informationally and physically are referred to as multimedia agents. In this laboratory, we conduct extensive research and development on core technologies for robots and avatars as multimedia agents, human-robot interaction technologies, and advanced applications in real-world settings.
